Penguins forward Chris Kunitz describes how the Red Wings play

The Windsor Star's Bob Duff received the first accurate opposition player observation of the ways in which the Red Wings first slow games down and then speed them back up:

May 31, Windsor Star: From his years with the Anaheim Ducks, Penguins left-winger Chris Kunitz is well familiar with the Wings and they way they work.

"Detroit's maybe one of the select few teams that stay with their system," Kunitz said. "They're in control of the puck, they can slow it down a little, they have the energy guys who can ramp it up, their D-men can bring it back and kind of get you out of your system. You have to get in there and you have to stick with it. It's a seven-game series for a reason. You have to get on them and keep on them."
